{6} Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom Flashcards
1
Q
Define:
Orbital?
A
A probability distribution map showing where the electron is likely to be found
Important to bonding
2
Q
Define:
Magnetic Quantum Number (m1)?
A
-l…0…l
3
Q
Define:
Subshells/Sublevels?
A
Level of n and l
4
Q
Define:
Principal Quantum number (n)?
A
Determines size and energy of an orbital
(n= 1, 2, 3)
5
Q
Define:
Spin Quantum Number (m_s)?
A
Specifies orientation of the spin of the electron
Electron spin: A fundamental property of an electron
Spin Up = (m_s = +1/2)
Spin Down = (m_s = -1/2)
6
Q
Define:
Angular momentum quantum number (l)?
A
n-1
7
Q
Define:
Node?
A
8
Q
Define:
Ionization?
A
The transformation when an electron changes from an orbital
9
